Memorial Day In Corpus Christi, TX (Part 1)

With approximately one month left before our departure to Kwajalein Atoll, we went to visit Abuelito, Abuelita, Tia Olga and Tio Eric in Corpus Christi during Memorial Day Weekend for about a week.  Couldn't believe the weather was 103 degrees when we landed in San Antonio and the humidity made it feel as if you could drink the air.  It was great to see them all and was very impressed with the rehabilitation of Abuelita's left knee from replacement surgery just two weeks ago.  It's amazing how the body can heal after a tremendous surgical procedure.  She was able to walk with a walker a few times of day and had a great attitude.  Dad has been the perfect nurse and therapist for her to ensure she maintains the required exercise regiment.

We enjoyed the shrimp and fish fry that Tio Eric put on as well as the entertainment had by all.  The beaches were packed  but we still enjoyed some water time.  Tia Olga and Maegan went horseback riding on the beach they had plenty of stories including the soreness in certain areas that cannot be described.  Maegan and Mason had a fishing competition where Mason caught the most fish and Maegan caught the largest.  No luck with the crabbing attempt, but was still fun.

It has been a wonderful week spending time with family and look forward to the rest of the week.  Unfortunately, Eric and Olga have to return to work tomorrow and we will miss them the rest of the week.  Looking forward to more good times with the Aljure clan.
